I thought I would surface a couple of things, I’m working on this heartbeat and would LOVE help with – should you want to get involved as a contributor in any way. I always offer lots of feedback, training (where it helps) and #mozlove with every chance I get. I also outlined what you might learn as part of contributing.

Our platform needs some love from someone interested in bringing this site inline with Mozilla design standards. It’s close but – not close enough. Built on Jekyll (Github Pages, Liquid, Bootstrap ) – ideally we need something like Makerstrap.

We have a community growing around Market Research contribution (Marketpulse) thanks to the clarity of our steps in the participation ladder. We still need a lot more people completing steps #1 and #2 in areas where Firefox OS phone is sold.

2) For a creative challenge I need help identifying non-traditional ways to reach out to people already skilled in Market Research. Basically outside the Mozilla community where do we go for this skill-set? I need not only ideas but someone interested in testing those ideas. If we could have even 1 new and skilled Market Researcher join as a volunteer I would do a happy dance and share that on Social Media.

Community members will soon be part of the onboarding process for new staff and interns (yay!), as part of that we’ll need a scheduling tool. Onboarding is every Monday, and we need to ensure that all slots are covered. So!

1) Tool Research

I need help figuring out a way to create an open and accessible scheduling tool for sign-up. Is there a good (free and open) tool for this? Maybe its just a calendar, but I need help researching, evaluating and selecting.

You’ll learn (or get better at) : Community Management, Scheduling

So these are the things that would really be helpful if you’re looking to get involved with the Participation Team this Heartbeat – or at least my small place on it. Please email me at eirwin at mozilla, OR leave a comment OR tweet at me. if you’re interested. Thanks!

I would also be curious if this is helpful to those looking to get involved (above the Github issues). If not what else would work?
